2024 FDG Committee Chairs
Patti Tobin, Communications Chair
Patti is a long-time resident of Glenview with a background in marketing and communications. When the time came to consider moving her young family from the city, she was adamant that the new place would have be walkable to the train downtown for work, parks for play and restaurants for a bite and a beverage. After finding all those things in a neighborhood near downtown Glenview, she now volunteers with FDG to strengthen the heart of downtown by promoting all of its assets to current and future residents.​​

Eric Bohn, Membership Chair​
As a third generation Glenview resident and real estate agent at Compass, Eric's personal and professional ties to the community run deep. Having grown up in town attending both OLPH and GBS (Class of '99), Eric contributes much of his spare time giving back to his hometown. In addition to his work with the Friends of Downtown Glenview, he also serves on the boards at both the Glenview Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis Club of Glenview-Northbrook in a very hands-on capacity. When not working or volunteering, you'll find Eric golfing, enjoying live music, or simply walking his dogs around the Henking Elementary/Crowley Park neighborhood where he resides. ​​​​
